WHAT NFL SCOUTS LOOK FOR - MEASURABLES BREAKDOWN

For those wondering what "good" looks like at the NFL level, here's how these numbers compare:

Ja'Naylon Dupree's 4.3-second 40-yard dash is ELITE. That speed translates at the next level and puts him among the fastest receivers in this draft class.

JACOBIAN MORGAN - PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR & 2024 CELEBRATION BOWL MVP

All eyes were on QB JaCobian Morgan during the passing portion of the workout. The 2024 Celebration Bowl MVP and Preseason Player of the Year had the chance to show scouts his NFL-caliber arm.

Morgan went through a full workout:

• Short passes

• Intermediate routes

• Deep balls

• Movement throws

The consensus? His arm strength is LEGIT. Accuracy was sharp. And the intangibles—leadership, poise, command—were on full display.

DEFENSIVE LINE DOMINANCE

The defensive line stole the show in the trenches.

Quincy Ivory (#6) came into Pro Day with one goal: prove he's gotten stronger and more explosive. Mission accomplished. His pass-rush moves looked NFL-ready.

Jeremiah Williams led ALL players with 23 reps on the 225-pound bench press. The 2024 Celebration Bowl Defensive MVP brought that championship mentality to Pro Day. That kind of strength doesn't go unnoticed.

MULTI-SCHOOL PARTICIPATION

Pro Day wasn't just for Jackson State players. Athletes from nearby schools also participated:

• Mississippi Valley State

• Delta State

• Alcorn State

This collaborative approach gives more HBCU and small-school players the chance to be seen by NFL scouts. That's what it's all about.

NEXT UP: HBCU & IPP SHOWCASE IN VIRGINIA

The Pro Day exposure doesn't stop here.

SIX Jackson State players are scheduled to attend the NFL's HBCU Showcase this weekend in Ashburn, Virginia. This event, held in partnership with the Black College Football Hall of Fame, puts HBCU talent directly in front of ALL 32 NFL teams.

What to Expect:

• Full combine-style workouts

• Position-specific drills

• One-on-one meetings with scouts

• Medical evaluations

This is the NFL's commitment to HBCU talent on full display. And Jackson State will be well-represented.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Jackson State Pro Day 2026 was a massive success. Five NFL teams showed up. Players performed at elite levels. And the path to the 2026 NFL Draft just got clearer for these Tigers.

Ja'Naylon Dupree's speed. Jeremiah Williams' strength. JaCobian Morgan's arm. Reid Pulliam's explosiveness. Quincy Ivory's pass-rush.

The NFL is watching. And Jackson State delivered.
